Personnel of the Ashaiman branch of the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) saved a man who reportedly attempted to take his life on Tuesday, August 20.
The man, in his early 50s, allegedly tried to end his life by climbing an electric pylon at Adjei Kojo, a community in the Tema West Municipality, near Ashaiman in the Greater Accra Region.
According to sources, the man suffers from kidney disease and has given up the fight because he could not pay for the cost of his medication.
Recounting the cause of his distress to the GNFS personnel and some eyewitnesses, the man explained, When I got the disease, I went to a health centre at Ashaiman Polyclinic, and they referred me to Tema General Hospital.
At Tema General Hospital, they also directed me to go to UGMC. I have walked for a while now, and I’m tired. I don’t know what to do. I decided to go there, but they told me I wouldn’t be able to pay the bills.
The GNFS personnel, however, promised to support the man and assist him in covering the costs of his kidney treatment.
